emerge --info, please. This is normal, because there was no change of any USE flags used by gcc and gcc is up-to-date, so there is no need of reemerging gcc. Eh, what's said above - no update, no changed flags -> nothing to do. NOTABUG.

Re-read Comment #2 and Comment #3 a couple more times. Thanks. Ok, I do understand why this bug was closed but my question was not answered so I am trying to ask another way: How can I enable --newuse all the time plus be able to remerge all packages even a new version was not released and no use flags were changed? I would like to have this command -------------------------------------------------------------- # emerge -1pv --newuse kdelibs >>> --newuse implies --update... adding --update to options. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! Total size of downloads: 0 kB -------------------------------------------------------------- do the same thing as -------------------------------------------------------------- # emerge -1pv --newuse kdelibs >>> --newuse implies --update... adding --update to options. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! Total size of downloads: 0 kB -------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes USE flags get updated silently without a new ebuild versions I would like to catch all updates without having to type --newuse everytime. Normally I update with emerge -uD world (In reply to comment #7) > How can I enable --newuse all the time plus be able to remerge all > packages even a new version was not released and no use flags were changed? Why would you re-emerge packages if there's no need to? > Sometimes USE flags get updated silently without a new ebuild > versions I would like to catch all updates without having to > type --newuse everytime. But you already do catch them.

If use flags change --newuse makes sense, but in the case above the block the compile for no apparent reason and it can not be circumvented afaics. Oops, sorry, forgot to reopen the bug, changed topic (In reply to comment #9) > If use flags change --newuse makes sense, but in the case above the block > the compile for no apparent reason and it can not be circumvented afaics. It doesn't block anything, please read the man page. There's nothing to recompile, nothing will be recompiled. It's a feature, not a bug. --ignore-default-opts Causes EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS (see make.conf(5)) to be ignored. If that's still not what you want, then sorry I can't help you. |
Having EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--newuse" in /etc/make.conf produces this: -------------------------------------------------------------- # emerge -1pv gcc >>> --newuse implies --update... adding --update to options. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! Total size of downloads: 0 kB -------------------------------------------------------------- After removing this line from make.conf -------------------------------------------------------------- # emerge -1pv gcc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
